what is the best method to bend the longerons when making the fuselage top assembly? . There is a reverse bend at station 21.5 where it narrows slightly between the firewall and seat back crossmembers. If you tack the firewall and seat back then try and bend the longerons in it would pull the seat back forward slightly. Would it be acceptable to clamp the longerons to this cross member and tack without having heated and bent the longeron but just doing it cold? Would it introduce too much stress with the longeron wanting to return to straight? Thanks sam
